Fishing Creek Elem Kindergarten Day Care

Fishing Creek Elementary School is unique in that it is literally two separate buildings combined into one. Building I houses the primary grades has its own playground. It is connected to Building II by a corridor the tunnel which is home to the upper grades the office the health room the library and the multi-purpose room for lunches and physical education classes. This design in effect creates a primary center environment in which everything is focused on the needs of the younger children with the added benefit of having older children available to help in a variety of ways. It is not unusual to see fifth grade students working on a one-to-one basis with first or second graders during their free time or being a buddy to someone who needs just a little help getting organized.

The Fishing Creek Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO) plays a large part in the vitality of the school. In addition to providing funds for assemblies special programs and after-school clubs members of the PTO are always available to help out in individual classrooms or in numerous other ways that benefit the children. A yearly event which typifies the spirit of cooperation between the staff and the PTO is the family picnic held each spring. Staff and family members share a potluck picnic before heading into the classrooms to view a sampling of student academic work art work and science fair projects.
